A Clear Motion Rate of 720 is an incredible level of motion-clarity. TVs with this CMR can display action-packed movement with impressive sharpness, clarity and contrast. Clear Motion Rate was developed to accurately measure how well an LCD or LED TV can depict fast-moving images. Previously, motion clarity was calculated by the frame refresh rate alone. But CMR offers a more complete measure by calculating 3 factors: frame refresh rate, image processor speed and backlight technology.

Glad to finally see an official topic for this tv. I just purchased this tv over the weekend, I have yet to hook it up just wanted to purchase because of the sale. I will be moving in a couple of months so may hold off until then. One question I do have With this set is, Are you able to then micro dimming off?

No Micro-Dimming is automatic, yet Dynamic Contrast, Cinema Black, Black Tone and Motion Lighting can control the black levels.

The only one I will be using is Cinema Black to darken Original aspect ratio: 2.39:1 - Widescreen Movies.

Well this thread is getting off to the right start. My Tv is performing EXCELLENT as well and have started to watch several blu-rays I had viewed on my ES7100. All look better on the F series and I really didn't think it would be possible to achieve so much of an improvement. I also suggest to try 3D blu-ray movie and chech ouit the new feature for 3d light control. When set to high, the movie really does get that bright immage back. This one new feature makes 3D tons better for viwing pleasure.

+1, The 3D is so much better with no dark horizontal bands (like the ES on blue and white backgrounds).

The 3D Light Control set to High does makes the picture really bright- despite the glasses.

You notice any lag while gaming? Heard the f8000 was pretty high as far as input lag, curious about f7100

Cinema Black seems to have a negative effect on PQ causing the brightness to fluxuate quite a bit when turned On and set to Medium or High. The best solution is to just use the Low setting. This helps with the Wide Screen movies top and bottom black bars without causing this brightness fluxuation that occures during dark to light scene transitions. Hopefully, a future firmware update will correct this. I also saw this posted on the F8000 thread a while back but really could not appreciate the problem without seeing it in action. I also wish Samsung would turn this feature on for the 3D mode since there seems to be slighty more flashlighting than when in the 2D mode.

I am still trying to decide between the un60F7500 and the un60F7100. Best Buy's near me (long island NY) don't have the 7500's yet. The 60 inch F7100 that best buy has on display has a thicker bezel than the 65 inch F7100 and 55 inch F7100. Noticeably thicker. Picture looked excelent on the 65 inch F7100, not so great on the 60 inch.

Seems there are 2 threads going for the F7100 so I posted on this one also.

So they returned the Cinema Black feature?, it was an exclusive feature of D8000 2011 model. I think they also removed edge enhancement from 2012 models. Can someone please post a photo of the picture enhancements for this particular model? Thanks!

+1 , I have had Cinema Black set to Low and like it that way.

Eco Sensor On and Min. Backlight 6 with Backlight at 14 greatly reduces flashlighting for 2D.

3D seems to really bring out the flashlighting - especially with 3D Light Control set to High.

I can live with the flashlighting - my old Samsung A850 had it.

The ES7100 eventually became flashlight free over time so hopefully the F7100 will also.

+1, I also noticed the UN60F7100 had a larger bezel and softer picture.

I wonder if Best Buy has played with the settings to make the F8000 above it look better in comparison.

Both looked fantastic and seemed responsive in Game Mode (Standard Mode).

The Micro-Dimming was really evident in both games in Standard Mode.

Looks like Micro-Dimming is not in Movie Mode again this year.

I'm using Movie Mode for DirecTv and Blu-rays and noticed no dimming so far.

So this probably isn't a good tv for gaming , considering the brightness changing . I was really considering this tv, as I'm looking for an upgrade in one of our family rooms, and was going to go away from plasma, but I may just be better of to stick with plasma and get a st60, and just a smaller lcd for gaming .

Firmware ver.1102.1 is out, but the F8000 thread has accounts of new firmware issues.

The Flashlighting on my TV has now diminished in 2D to the point where I cant see it at all until the TV has been on for over 30 minutes and then it shows but only very dim and not enough to effect the viewing experience. I do agree that 3D viewing is a bit more noticeable and especially when 3D light level is set to High. I love the brighter picture in 3D when on High so a little fIashlighting really isn't a big deal and really only shows up in a dark room. I have been running with the newest firmware 1102 for about a week or so and do not see any ovious firmware issues so far. Since my TV was so new at the time I had updated, I had not done any calibration yet so I did a full reset prior to the install. I can't say if the current settings got affected during the update as some reported on the F8000 thread. Does anybody know what is the proper method for the shipping position of the TV when being trucked. Mine was laying down flat on its panel on a pallet. Nothing was stacked on top but I guess the question is "Is the Tv supposed to be standing upright in it's box" or "laying flat on its panel face". I am really wondering if laying it flat cause any issues like induced flashlighting that can go away. This is only pure speculation though. I'm trying to cut some slack to Samsung for releasing these TV's with flashlighting. I have read that a F8000 was dissembled and the four corners of the internal panel screws were loosened about 1/2 turn and then no more flashlighting was visable. I may try this solution down the road if the flashlighting remains but the way it is looking, that may not be needed. Burn-in Time seems to be a partial cure fore sure.

Good to hear, so far the only issues have been mild flashlighting and very rare stuttering/slowdown.

Besides the bezel possibly being thicker on the 60", are there any other noticeable differences between the 55" and 60" version of this tv? Anybody have any suggestions on which size to go with if my eyes will be between 7 and 8 feet from the tv? Thanks

In Menu> Smart Features> On TV Settings> On TV Setup> OPTIONS to Connect or Disconnect.

It showed me DirevTV programming and recommendations.

The firmware update slightly modified the Menu font and design.

Also I don't want to see all the Smart Hub options when I power up, so-

In Menu> Smart Features> On TV Settings> Auto Start and then set it to "Off."

Good idea to just start in TV Viewing Mode! I just tried to set up the Universal remote and it works GREAT! I can now use my Cox Cable box with the samsung remote and when set, when I power Off the TV, the Cable box turns off as well. I think this TV is getting "Smarter" after all!

I have the DirecTV remote set up to power on the HDTV, DirecTV Box and Home Theater at the same time with Anynet +.

They all power off together too.

I used the IR Blaster to with the Touch Screen Remote- yet I'm not sold on it for DirecTV.

I still use my Blu-ray / Home Theater remote for Blu-ray playback and Sound adjustments.

Saw both the f7100 and the Sony r550a today in stores. I saw the f7100 in two different stores. One had a horrible feed that did absolutely no justice to the tv (pc richards) and another that was calibrated completely off (BB). The second was at a BB and displayed right below a well calibrated f8000. Someone suggested that maybe BB or samsung was doing a quality calibration on the f8000 to make it look better and I would definitely agree. The f7100 and f8000 were displayed on top of the eachother and the f7100's colors and brightness were turned up so high your retinas might burn out.

It is very hard to compare the two sets under those conditions, and I don't know enough about settings to get them to some kind of standard, but in the end, for the normal viewer, i don't think you could go wrong with either.
